Abstract
PELAYES, DE et al. Intraocular cilia with macular pucker: Clinicopathologic correlation. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2003, vol.78, n.4, pp.219-222. ISSN 0365-6691.
Purpose/methods: To report the pathological findings in a case of intravitreous cilia with macular pucker. We considered clinical factors to establish treatment. A pars plana vitrectomy and premacular membrane peeling were performed. Surgical samples were removed and studied with PAS, hematoxylin-eosin, Massons Trichromic and immunohistochemistry. Results/conclusion: The histopathological examination disclosed the presence of cilia partially surrounded by a cuticle layer and internal limiting membrane with a celullarity increase. Surgical extraction is indicated in those cases in which the intraocular cilia are associated with any surgically treatable process or when it produces ocular inflammation or visual disturbance.
Keywords : Intraocular cilia; epiretinal membrane; immunohistochemistry; macular pucker.
